On Saturday November 4th, 2017, while driving home, Deputy Chief Payne spotted smoke in the area of a large abandoned factory on Buckley Rd. Upon investigating further D/C Payne found the smoke to be coming from a large 3 story brick building. D/C Payne quickly notified Onondaga County Fire Control of his findings and to tone out Liverpool and our mutual aid for a fire inside the factory. Engine 1 (Lt. Warren) was first to arrive and immediately stretched a 3inch leader line into the building. Engine 2 (Lt. Cisne) arrived next and assumed second due engine company operations. Chief Loucks had command, and D/C Ormsby had interior operations. The fire was quickly contained to an old production side of the factory. Units operated on scene for about 2 hours ejecting smoke, chasing hot spots, and cleaning up.

Multiple other pieces of apparatus from Liverpool responded as well as Moyers Corner Engine 31, Solvay Rescue 11, North Syracuse Engine 6, and Mattydale Squad 4. Taunton Ladder 5 provided the coverage move up to Liverpool Station 2.

The fire is currently under investigation by the Onondaga County Fire Investigation Unit as well as the Onondaga County Sheriff's Office.
